Yet we continue to hear stories of misery from Haiti. Why have NGOs failed at their mission? Set in Haiti during the 2004 coup and aftermath and enhanced by research conducted after the 2010 earthquake, Killing with Kindness analyzes the impact of official development aid on recipient NGOs and their relationships with local communities. Written like a detective story, the book offers rich enthnographic comparisons of two Haitian women’s NGOs working in HIV/AIDS prevention, one with public funding (including USAID), the other with private European NGO partners. Mark Schuller looks at participation and autonomy, analyzing donor policies that inhibit these goals. He focuses on NGOs’ roles as intermediaries in “gluing” the contemporary world system together and shows how power works within the aid system as these intermediaries impose interpretations of unclear mandates down the chain—a process Schuller calls “trickle-down imperialism.”

MARK SCHULLER is former coordinator of the African American Resource Center at York College, CUNY. A writer for Huffington Post, he is the coeditor of four books, including Tectonic Shifts: Haiti since the Earthquake, and codirector of the documentary film Poto Mitan: Haitian Women, Pillars of the Global Economy. His scholarly work has been published in twenty peer reviewed articles or book chapters, and he is actively involved in Haiti solidarity efforts.

This year, we have the pleasure of hosting Roy Fox from the Rufus King Manor. Mr. Fox is a longtime radio personality and expert on the Constitution and Jamaica's own Rufus King. (Senator King was a framer of the Constitution and played a pivotal role in the early stages of the abolition movement. His home, open to the public, is located on Jamaica Avenue, just blocks from York College.) Joseph Salzone from YCRadio.org will interview Mr. Fox. The session will be conducted like a talk show and we invite all of the York College community (students, faculty, staff and friends) to come and learn about the Constitution and ask questions about the Constitution then and now.

Please come -- and invite your students to come -- and join us for what promises to be an interesting talk about the Constitution.

Light refreshments will be served. Small gifts will also be distributed (while supplies last!)

Produced and directed by John Jackson, Jr. and Deborah Thomas, along with Junior “Gabu” Wedderburn and Junior “Ista J” Manning, Bad Friday focuses on a community of Rastafarians in western Jamaica who annually commemorate the 1963 Coral Gardens incident, a moment just after the island’s independence, when the Jamaican government rounded up, jailed and tortured hundreds of Rastafarians. The feature-length documentary recounts the poignant history of violence in Jamaica through the eyes of its most iconic community and shows how people use their recollections of past traumas to imagine new possibilities for a collective future.
